October 1, 2012 Santiago, Chile I want to tell you about a company I’ve recently come across that is shaping up to be one hell of an investment opportunity. Today is the first day of their new fiscal year, and it’s obvious they’re poised for massive growth and huge upside potential. To start
September 28, 2012 Santiago, Chile Well I can say one thing for sure– Sovereign Man readers are really extraordinary people. A few days ago in an email to you, I wrote about all the incredible opportunities I’m seeing on the ground here in Chile, and then mentioned my upcoming plans to open an
September 27, 2012 Santiago, Chile Last summer, two researchers from the New England Complex Systems Institute published a short paper examining the correlation between rising food prices and civil unrest. It was a timely analysis, to say the least. A number of food riots were occurring throughout the world, not to mention waves of
September 26, 2012 Hong Kong It’s now officially a 3-way race to the bottom between the dollar, the euro, and the yen. It started on September 6th with the ECB announcing a new, UNLIMITED bond-buying program. A week later, the US Federal Reserve officially announced QE3, another open-ended (de facto
September 25, 2012 Santiago, Chile After being away for over four months and traveling through more than 30 countries on four continents, I returned to Chile a few days ago, fortuitously on the first day of spring. Remember, the seasons are flipped in the southern hemisphere, so the spring renewal is everywhere. It’s
September 24, 2012 London, England Never try to teach a pig to sing, advised Robert Heinlein. It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.

September 20, 2012 Flic-en-Flac, Mauritius Situated thousands of miles from the coast of Africa in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Mauritius definitely qualifies as the ‘middle of nowhere.’ This is interesting for a number of reasons– I’ll explain. I’ve long argued that the world is entering a rather tumultuous phase. This isn’t
September 19, 2012 Hong Kong One of the best short-selling ideas I’ve had over the past year or so was in Fortescue Metals (FMG listed on the Australian Securities Exchange). If you’re unfamiliar with ‘shorting’ a stock, it’s essentially a bet that a company’s price will fall instead of rise.
September 14, 2012 Flic-en-Flac, Mauritius Have you ever noticed how it seems like the public can only handle one major issue at a time? Ten years ago it was terrorism. Then it became the war in Iraq. Then anthropogenic climate change became all the buzz. Then gas prices went through the roof and
September 13, 2012 Johannesburg, South Africa The recent troubles in South Africa’s mining sector are unquestionably tragic. People have been shot. Others, jailed. Thousands of people are out of work. Strikes are snowballing across the entire mining sector, and some companies (like Anglo American Platinum and Great Basin Gold) have even shut down their
September 12, 2012 Cape Town, South Africa Yesterday, news broke that the US government has awarded a whopping $104 million to convicted felon and former inmate Bradley Birkenfeld. It was a big headline and you likely saw the news… but it’s worth a deeper look. Because if there is one story that
September 10, 2012 Franschhoek, Western Cape, South Africa There’s a very dangerous expression we’ve been hearing a lot lately from all corners of the globe, mostly from socialist-leaning politicians and economists who fancy themselves champions of the people.
